Hopefully not picking up where they left off, because as I recall the last season wasn't that good.
But it's been a while since I've seen the show.

Not sure if I'm one of those people or not, but I'll take one for the team and let you know what I think of it. :D

please do. i tend to only have time for 1-2 shows these days (currently battlestar and 30 rock) so reviews from non-tarded humans are always helpful! :)

i was all "hey i like kochanski she's kind of cute and..."

then i remembered you weren't talking about CP grogan from sporadic appearances in seasons 1-6, and they actually put that terrible acress in as a full-time kochanski in seasons 7-8. ugh.

You sound like me. My TiVo is filled with good intentions, but these days I'm more likely to just go in and delete entire unwatched seasons of most shows I record. The only things I make time for at the moment are reruns of Inuyasha and M*A*S*H (though I did squeeze The L Word into my viewing schedule since it was the last season and all).

Hopefully in September when I have a 3-week break between summer and fall terms AND I'm not doing festival biz, I can crank through everything else (including BG).

Don't know why but this made me think that you have mp3s of favorite episodes that you listen to when you can't fall asleep.

I did the same thing, only with Evil Dead and Meatballs. WTF? I was weird.

I mostly listen to NPR or KOZT's streaming broadcast while I study. TV distracts me entirely too much. (That reminds me...one day I need to borrow your MST3K discs back from you because believe it or not, I lost my entire stack of the ones I copied...I AM TEH SUCK) I know this because Torchwood almost ruined my GPA during spring term last year. :P

"torchwood was so bad it lowered my iq"-- amanda hicks, 2009

i usually watch MSTs i have already seen way too many times, just for the comforting background noise

That quote is so gonna get me prison-raped at the fest.

I would totally try the MST3K-as-ambient-noise method, but my self control is not that great. It'd be me, Space Mutiny, and a partially-completed field report two days overdue. :P

i think i have space mutiny memorized at this point. the only parts that still have me rolling are "aaaaaaaa! who took my purse?!!?" and "i was just about to do the monster mash...."

That's like me and "Fire Maidens of Outer Space". I still enjoy watching it, but pretty much the only thing that gets me to laugh these days is "How would you like to see under my robe?"

Horror of Party Beach is one I can watch several times. But then I haven't seen all that many MST3k episodes.

i've probably seen the scifi channel seasons like 10-50 times each

if "seen" counts having them on while doing chores, homework, cooking, etc

Just got a whole mess of eps last week from a friend with "connections" (DSL, I believe). Joel and Mike and Forrester and Pearl and Trace and Bill. And I have a couple Rifftrax for when I want my big budget films to be teased.

Really want that movie on DVD, though.

"Joe, I'm in one of these boxes, come find me!"

"I'm your pilot, Claude Raines. Your co-pilot, Harvey the rabbit."

"Oh! It's right here: 'breach hull, all die.' Even had it underlined."

EDIT- Well, it happened. Someone who has never seen Red Dwarf jumping on the MST derail.

Speaking of which, did you get tickets, or are you skipping CT?
